Hi all,
At 5:49 UTC this morning (20th), observing from an open window at my GF's
appartment, I got a very nice view of the ISS and Shuttle STS-130 Endeavour
cruising closely together in the southwest.
It was twilight (sun -10 degree altitude) and the pair majestically sailed over
the rooftops in a bluish sky, below Saturn and then passing Spica. The Shuttle,
the fainter of the two, was slightly ahead of the ISS, at a distance of a few
degrees. The time difference between the two in passing Spica was about 5 seconds.
I will post pictures later (a bit wobbly, as the window sill I put the camera on
did transfer some vibrations to the camera apparently).
